Hi pamelat397
Really pleased to hear that you have a regular hog visitor there. Hedgehog food is fine for them, but mealworms, sadly, not. Many people don’t know that they have very little nutritional value for hogs and because of the ratio of phosphorous to calcium they contain, they can leach calcium from their bones. Unfortunately, the hogs do like them (a bit like humans with crisps) but they are best avoided.
Hope you continue to enjoy the hog’s visits. Happy hog watching.
